Greetings, Hey, Hi, Hello, Mambo!
You have probably guessed we are new oldies (but goodies), when it comes to 'blog
ging'.
We'll want to keep updating with comments, hopefully each week. There has been a request for more information on the restoration of the DOT so here are a few pictures showing some of that process.
It's a bit like letting God come into our lives and "all things change and become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

With the 2,000-plus kilometres to cover, I decided it was necessary to restore spare engines and
gearboxes (thanks to Noel Stephens for his help with Villiers parts). We now have 2 complete engines with gearbox, 1 complete except for primary drive case and 1 separate gearbox. Just a thought…. is there anyone out there with parts for a 1955 Mark 8E 197cc Villiers Primary Chain case in good condition? 
Preparations are coming along steadily as we plan for the launch from the Cape on November 13th. Don't forget to check out the MAF website www.mafnz.org.nz We will advise in the near future what the fund raising PROJECT for MAFNZ will be.
After seeing the sale of an old Gentle Annie washing machine selling on Trademe, for $5,500, I thought - "What a good idea for fund raising".
It could be a good deal to auction of "stuff" as a charity auction, with the proceeds going to MAFNZ. Also an opportunity to get exposure for the Ride to Fly Event.
I'm planning to set up a Trademe auction for one of the completely re-built engines, with the auction ending on the Saturday 28th November, in Invercargill.
Here is a great opportunity for you too, to raise funds for MAFNZ, by auctioning off "stuff" you might have and at the same time promoting the Ride to Fly Event. Let's know if you would be prepared to set up a CHARITY auction something like this.
